Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

Here’s a structured Twitter thread introducing each of the Twenty Lessons from On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, with real-world examples and discussion questions. This will encourage engagement and critical thinking.

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

This should’ve been a 9-0 ruling. Instead it was 5-4. Which means only 2 of the 6 right-wingers (Roberts and Coney Barrett) care if the Supreme Court has any credibility. It also means only 2 of the 6 realize that if they green-light a complete dictatorship, they’re as irrelevant as you and me.

“This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading.
To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.”

These allegations are … pretty much saying the Minneapolis police ran something akin to mob-like protection rackets.
Small business owners in Minneapolis say the city forced them to hire off-duty MPD officers for security gigs. Some were led to believe MPD wouldn't respond to their calls if they refused. The officers often insisted on cash payment.
